608 PUPILS ENROLL
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
417 In the Grades and 161 In
the Higher Classes—Mt.
Pleasant Reports An Enrollment of 40-North Canton
Steadily Growing.
H.S. NEEDS ANOTHER ROOM
The North Canton public schools
onened on Monday, Sept. 10, with a
Record attendance. For the first time
?n °ts history the enrollment goes
over six hundred. The increased enrollment in the high school is responsible for part of this. However, m
. spite of this, with the exception of a
few "irregulars," the work started off
in splendid shape on the opening day.
A large number of the textbooks
and registrations had been taken care
of ahead of time. This helped greatly
in the operating of the school from
the beginning.
Some New Faces
Naturally, in a growing community
there are some new faces. There are
always a few who are late in regis-
. tering. Then there are a few, this
year fewer than usual, who do not
return to school.
The situation as a whole gives
somewhat of a crowded condition in
the building. The high school is operating in one less room than was
available last year. The grade school
has increased in enrollment, making
the use of this one room necessary.
Mt. Pleasant also has an increase
with an enrollment of 40. Below is
the enrollment by grades m North
Canton:
Number of Pupils
High School—Ninth, 57; tenth, 47;
eleventh, 29; twelfth, 28. Total, 161.
Grades—First, 72; second, 66;
third, 56; fourth, 55; fifth, 64; sixth,
61; seventh, 42; eighth, 31. Total,
447. Grand total in North Canton
public schools, 608. This does not include Mount Pleasant.
Football News

taking care of the boys athletics this
year: He was with8'or 10i>£ th<5 "boys
at a camp at Wood's,Lake for several
days last week. He,has been meeting
with the boys this week trying to
learn his men and get them in shape
for the coming football season. -
Prospects are. good for the season.
North Canton will not have an easy
schedule to ,play, but she promises
some good home games for the community. \ -

A FEW short months ago pipes were

parallel with the house occupied
by Charles Williams, executive secretary of the Community Building. Mr.
Williams took one long look at the uncovered earth and then decided to get
busy. Today, from the corner of Witwer street to the end of his lot, is a
riot of flowers. It is a beautiful sight
and in keeping with the neighborhood,
which is one of the neatest in North

We are far down in a long historical
succession of magi's effort in the love

for use. Ancbthe opportunities of improvement, as in the case of Mr. Williams, stretch on before us yet.

TABER COMING ON OCT. 6
THE spreading of sunshine in the
hearts of friends seems to be a
distinctive mark of Mr. and Mrs.
William F. Lorenz on the North Canton road. One of the many evidences
of this truth arrived at The Sun's
home on Wednesday when Mr. Lorenz
entered the office with a basket filled
with dahlias of many varieties ancl
of huge size, a gift from himself- and
his gracious wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz raise flowers
as they do everything else, with love
for the results of their labor, and results under such circumstances are always gratifying. The Sun force, and
Mrs. Hall, in particular, thank the
donors for this beautiful gift.

Flowers Everywhere
WALKING around North Canton
ancl its vicinity it seems that
there are more flower gardens
blooming than ever before at this
time of year. People have gone in
for flowers of late after a period
when the old-fashioned garden languished a bit.
No one who owns a garden lacks
interest in it. It is just impossible to
have flowers in the dooryard without
taking an acute pleasure in their progress. The popularity of flower beds
is due in part to the new appetite for
color.
Never have the American people demanded color as they do now. In costume and in furniture, in automobiles
and in kitchen utensils designers are
busy providing new brightness. But
there is no brightness equal to that
of flowers. They are painted on textures so delicate as to be a marvel
to the eye ancl the touch. Ruskin
said that the rose was the most beautiful of flowers because even its
shadows were color. But every flower
has its partisans, whose tastes may
be readily ascertained by alert observation on passing along anv street in
North Canton ancl its vicinity.
Picture To Be Shown In Community Building On Friday
and Saturday Nights Is the
Sequel To "Beau Geste" and

WOMAN UPSETS HIS OATH
Just before The Sun .(went to press
word was received in this office that
the picture "The BabeXomes Home"
will be shown in the Community
Building on Thursday, Sept. 20. The
star of the picture, of dburse, is Babe
Ruth, the famous home-run king of
the New York Yankees.
The price of admission is 30 cents
for adults and 15 cent* for children
and to help the sale-of; tickets, all of
them have been numbered and a door
prize is to be given to the holder of
the stub.

Time, 7:30—please note the change
in time. Prices, 20c, 30c, 40c for this

On Friday ancl Saturday nights the
Community Building management will
present to the public at small prices a

scenes_"Beau Sabreur." The Sun
never saw the picture, but according

"I went by the field of the slothful
. . . ancl, Io, it was all grown over
with .thorns."
We put a good deal of ourselves into these gardens. But that is just
what we are,sent here on earth to do.
The Garden of Life is an epitome of
all our living. There are laws to be
regarded. There are incalculable elements, tempests, drought and hail.
There are enemies to be met and
overcome, weeds and insects, the careless foot that tramples, the thieves
that break through and steal.
There will be tests for temper, calls
on patience, unwanted failures, little
joys and triumphs, ancl at last sortie
harvest for our striving. Such is the
struggle we call Life.
Happy is he who in his work or in
his garden hours can know that "God
is working in him both to will and to
do of his good pleasure," striving to
make us what in our best moments
we would most desire to be.

that Mrs. Wehl has instilled into the
minds of her pupils the correct method, of learning music.

Art, Music and Literature Receive Attention At Meeting
With Mrs. D. P. Hoover—Music Furnished By Miss Kathryn Kelly—Questions Asked.
MRS. WILLIGMANNSfPAPER
The Ladies' Literal)- club met.with
Mrs. D. P. Hoover on Monday afternoon. The program included a piano
solo by Miss Kathryn Kelly; conundrums, by Mrs. Milton Young, and a
series of questions about art, music
and literature, by Mrs. M. M. Rubright. {
A prize was given to the one answering the greatest number of questions. Mrs. Frank C. Wise gave a
reading and Mrs. R. C. Willigmann
read an original story in which she
introduced many names of persons
who reside in North Canton.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
H. Wl. Hoover on Monday; September 17, and the following Monday,
September 24, with Mrs. M. M.. Rubright. v
Mrs. Willigmann's Paper.
The following is the story written
by Mrs. Willigmann, entitled
"OUR FRIENDS"
Many kind and unkinds words are
said about our friends. But I am going to. tell you about a man ancl his
sweetheart, and I thought, "Will a
man" object to such a story? Now
"Newton" was in love with a most
charming girl named "l>etty" and she
lived close to the city of "Roberts"
ville. "Newton" hadipmposed and his
answer was, yes. So a house he must
build. A lot was selected, ancl one of
the best "Carpenters" in town was secured. The house grew fast and it
was to make J;he best "Show" in town.
The "Halls" were "Long" ancl wide
and the rooms light and airy. As expensive furniture was to be selected,
the house when complete had some
"Class." The outside was painted
"Green."' The walks were made of
From now until Thanksgiving the
thump of the football and the thud
of the tackle will mingle with signal
barking of quarterbacks or whisperings in huddles on the schoolboy fields
all over the territory served by The
Sun.
On Tuesday evening Lowell Ruch,
coach of the North Canton high
school, had his lads ,out giving them
drill work, atlhough they had a little
taste of it in camp last week. In
Greentown, Uniontown, Hartville,
Greensburg and other places the boys
are out on the gridiron, and from
what this writer for The Sun hears
the season is going to be a "fast" one,
as much available "timber" is at hand.
Many Boys "Soft"
After a summer lay-off there is
many a lad who must leave the
strings loose at the top of his panties
or "bust" when he stoops over. And
there is another crowd who have been
swimming all summer and who now
need to develop a different set of muscles altogether and be mighty careful
how they «-o about it.
Then, of course, there is that element who have conscientiously been
dabbling around with a fotball, playing the tag game and the like, who
need close watching, for fear they
might go "over the edge" in their condition before the season is half over.
Coaches' Task Hard
The duties of a school coach are
tremendous, and it is almost a nightmare with many to think that perhaps
one boy or another with remarkable
■ability might be overlooked in the
shuffle for places. Many a skinny lad,
though built like a steel spring, is
given but a hasty glance;by the coach,
while, as a. matter of facti the boy
has the heart of a lion .and. .the- nerve
to knock a bigger foe cock-eyed with
the tackle he can give. It is difficult
weeding out the material, ancl this
stage of the practice season is a
strenuous one on any conscientious
coach.

The pastor.with others of the congregation will attend the annual
county convention of the Disciples
churches of Stark county on Friday

in the spirit of. fellowship they generate than in program values, though
we would not minimize that element
in the day. There are always good
speeches and interesting reports.
The Phila rChristi class will meet
with Mrs. Sidney Rohr on Friday
night for the annual fall wiener rocst.

17, and organize for the new year.
Rally day, October 7, is our present
objective. Rally clay has become a
sort of homecoming ancl "home staying" day, as it is not only a day when
we have the best attendance but is
rich in good fellowship also. Already
posters are up announcing the day
and the committees are to meat this
Wednesday night to make plans for
the program ancl general procedure.
The slogan for next Sunclay will be
"Good Deed," as it is Good Deed
Week. Do someone an unselfish turn
each day.
The sermon subject for Sunday is
''The Joy of .Jesus."
Mr. Ma, who was our guest Sunday,
left on Monday for Chicago on an errand ancl will return directly to New
York to enter Columbia university
to make a special study of international relations. He is a thorough
student and as full of questions as an
inquisitive boy. He made a study of
F. G. Hoover's farm ancl spent Monday observing in the factory. He will

this country with more information
than the average youth in America
will pick up in a life time.

" ABIE'S IRISH ROSE"
NEXT WEEK AT GRAND
Most Expensive Play Ever Put
On By a Stock Company—
Was In New York -At One
Theatre For Six Years, a
World's Record Run.
NOTED ACTORS IN CAST
Manager Bob Cannon is not only
the youngest manager of a legitimate
theatre in America, but it strikes The
Sun that he is one of the most daring.
Not satisfied with giving the public
many of the best Broadway successes
in his theatre—the Grancl in Canton—
he has gone himself one better—
which seemed impossible—and secured the privilege from Miss Nichols
to produce her world-famous success,
"Abie's Irish Rose."
Miss Nichols is something more
than a writer of plays—she is a business woman first, .so when Manager
Cannon asked permission to stage her
play in Canton he asked, "How much
cash 'goes with your consent?"
She told him. Some managers
would have bowed, said "Good day,"
ancl let Abie and his Rose keep on
doing a marathon in New York city.
But not Manager Bob Cannon. He
took out his check, book, wrote in the
amount asked, shook hands with Miss
Nichols and took a fast train for Canton. And that is the reason "Abie's
Irish Rose" is the most expensive
show ever put on by a stock company.
Presented Next Week
It will be presented in the Grand
, beginning Sunday night, Sept. 1G, un-
| der the name of the Cannon Players,
I a name the company will use in future.

fBy the Pastor]
The Sunday-school and church service as usual was held last Sunday
at the usual morning hours. The Rev.
W. F. Kissel, pastor of our Reformed
church, Barberton, took the place of
the pastor of this church in his absence.
The pastor, was at a home-coming
in a Pennsylvania charge he left 28 I
years ago. He had the time of his I
life to name persons whom he had !
not seen for over a quarter of a cen-*.
tury. In some instances those reniem-1
bered only as children presented their
children and grandchildren. It is on I
such occasions that one is made keenly
sensible of the lapse of .time.
The pastor will again fill hjs pulpit I
next Lord's Day morning and evening.

It is an interesting and provable
fact that people go to see "Abie's
Irish Rose" a second and third time
because they find something new to
enjoy at each visit. Tickets for all
performances of 'Abie's Irish Rose"
are now on sale at the box office of
the Grand theatre.
The four players, whose faces appear above have prominent parts in
"Abie's Irish Rose." They are Herbert De'Guerre and Edith Fisher (top
row) and Herbert Butterfield and Kitty Cosgriff (second; row.)
The play this week-is "Twin Beds,"
described*as.the funniest play in the
English language. It sure is a "loud
shout," and if you can't enjoy it to
the limit there must be something
the matter with your digestion.

Two resolutions were passed by
Council and signed by the Mayor and
attested by the Clerk at the meeting
on September 4. Resolution No. 25G
calls for the issuance of bonds' during the year 1929 in the sum of five
thousand dollars for the purpose of
providing and constructing storm
water sewer extensions in North Canton.
Resolution No. 257 asks for a bond
issue for ten thousand dollars for the
purpose of constructing, improving
and resurfacing Main street ancl other
streets in this town.
Asked by The Sun if he had, at
this time, any comment to make on
the two bond issues, Mayor Becher
said :
Mayor Becher's Views
"There is not a person in this town,
or the country either for that matter,
who is not vitally concerned in the
health of the community. It is important that the most rigid sanitary
regulations should have force not only
in North Canton but in every town
throughout this country. For epidemics of disease can be kept to a minimum. These are the greatest wasters
of life.
Value of it Human Life
"I was looking up some satisfies
the other clay," continued Mayor
Becher, "and I saw it stated that an
estimate by a leading sanitarian
places the average value of a human
life as $3G00, ancl the average cost of
medical attention and nursing care for
each case .of typhoid fever, for instance, as ?200. $n"this oasis in one
small town epidemic, fifty-five cases
of typhoid cost $li;000 ancl in addition the loss of vital capital because
of six deaths was $21,600.
"That is a lot of money to be taken
out of a community. Let us not consider it even from a humanitarian
standpoint. It is really not good business policy to let such things happen.
Public health is purchasable. Within
natural limits every community can
determine its own death rate," said
the Mayor.
Health a Business Proposition
"Modern health methods include infant welfare, child welfare, prevention
of communicable diseases ancl the
sanitation of the community. A
healthful community will not only
have more money to spend on the necessities and luxuries of life, but it
will attract the best class of citizens
to locaffe in such a territory. I believe
11 can say without fear of contradiction that the-new-comers in North
Canton are the class of people any
community would be proud to have,
and we could not get such desirable
citizens if we did not have rigid sanitary regulations.
"This town is growing steadily, and
from a business standpoint, from a
good health standpoint, ancl from a
desire to encourage the best class of
people to locate here we owe it to
ourselves to vote for the $5,000 bond
issue for sewers when the subject is
presented to us in November," said
the Mayor.
Improving Streets
"The Sun wants my opinion on
Resolution No. 257 in which the people are asked to vote $10,000 for the
purpose of paying the village's portion of the cost of constructing, improving and resurfacing streets during 1929 and following years.
"Let me say right now that while
the State of Ohio will do its share,
providing we do ours, the state will
not assume the entire burden on the
public highway. And if we clo not do
ours we face lawsuits when persons
are injured or autos damaged owing
to ruts in the streets.
"We have settled several cases of
this kind, and while a number of persons thought that the Traction company was responsible for some of the
holes, the fact remains that the
Courts decided against us, ancl North
Canton had to pay the money. It is
true we made a stubborn fight, and
that the village attorney succeeded in
reducing the amounts originally asked, but the village was held responsible ancl it hacl to pay damages," said
the Mayor.
Put Streets In Shape
"Then, again, there are certain
streets we desire to put in shape as
soon as possible. We have promised
to clo this, but there is a limit on the
amount of cash we are allowed to
spend. If the people vote for the
street improvement bonds—and I
firmly believe they will—then the
town can go ahead and give certain
streets the relief necessarv to make
them passable in bad weather.
"As for Main street, we must look
after that or run the chance of
damage suits, and damage suits are
'luxuries' we do not want. As I said
before, health is a business proposition, and so is a well-kept street," said
Mayor Becher.

the Higher Classes—Mt.
Pleasant Reports An Enrollment of 40-North Canton
Steadily Growing.
H.S. NEEDS ANOTHER ROOM
The North Canton public schools
onened on Monday, Sept. 10, with a
Record attendance. For the first time
?n °ts history the enrollment goes
over six hundred. The increased enrollment in the high school is responsible for part of this. However, m
. spite of this, with the exception of a
few "irregulars," the work started off
in splendid shape on the opening day.
A large number of the textbooks
and registrations had been taken care
of ahead of time. This helped greatly
in the operating of the school from
the beginning.
Some New Faces
Naturally, in a growing community
there are some new faces. There are
always a few who are late in regis-
. tering. Then there are a few, this
year fewer than usual, who do not
return to school.
The situation as a whole gives
somewhat of a crowded condition in
the building. The high school is operating in one less room than was
available last year. The grade school
has increased in enrollment, making
the use of this one room necessary.
Mt. Pleasant also has an increase
with an enrollment of 40. Below is
the enrollment by grades m North
Canton:
Number of Pupils
High School—Ninth, 57; tenth, 47;
eleventh, 29; twelfth, 28. Total, 161.
Grades—First, 72; second, 66;
third, 56; fourth, 55; fifth, 64; sixth,
61; seventh, 42; eighth, 31. Total,
447. Grand total in North Canton
public schools, 608. This does not include Mount Pleasant.

TABER COMING ON OCT. 6
THE spreading of sunshine in the
hearts of friends seems to be a
distinctive mark of Mr. and Mrs.
William F. Lorenz on the North Canton road. One of the many evidences
of this truth arrived at The Sun's
home on Wednesday when Mr. Lorenz
entered the office with a basket filled
with dahlias of many varieties ancl
of huge size, a gift from himself- and
his gracious wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz raise flowers
as they do everything else, with love
for the results of their labor, and results under such circumstances are always gratifying. The Sun force, and
Mrs. Hall, in particular, thank the
donors for this beautiful gift.

Flowers Everywhere
WALKING around North Canton
ancl its vicinity it seems that
there are more flower gardens
blooming than ever before at this
time of year. People have gone in
for flowers of late after a period
when the old-fashioned garden languished a bit.
No one who owns a garden lacks
interest in it. It is just impossible to
have flowers in the dooryard without
taking an acute pleasure in their progress. The popularity of flower beds
is due in part to the new appetite for
color.
Never have the American people demanded color as they do now. In costume and in furniture, in automobiles
and in kitchen utensils designers are
busy providing new brightness. But
there is no brightness equal to that
of flowers. They are painted on textures so delicate as to be a marvel
to the eye ancl the touch. Ruskin
said that the rose was the most beautiful of flowers because even its
shadows were color. But every flower
has its partisans, whose tastes may
be readily ascertained by alert observation on passing along anv street in
North Canton ancl its vicinity.

"I went by the field of the slothful
. . . ancl, Io, it was all grown over
with .thorns."
We put a good deal of ourselves into these gardens. But that is just
what we are,sent here on earth to do.
The Garden of Life is an epitome of
all our living. There are laws to be
regarded. There are incalculable elements, tempests, drought and hail.
There are enemies to be met and
overcome, weeds and insects, the careless foot that tramples, the thieves
that break through and steal.
There will be tests for temper, calls
on patience, unwanted failures, little
joys and triumphs, ancl at last sortie
harvest for our striving. Such is the
struggle we call Life.
Happy is he who in his work or in

do of his good pleasure," striving to
make us what in our best moments

Mrs. D. P. Hoover on Monday afternoon. The program included a piano
solo by Miss Kathryn Kelly; conundrums, by Mrs. Milton Young, and a
series of questions about art, music
and literature, by Mrs. M. M. Rubright. {
A prize was given to the one answering the greatest number of questions. Mrs. Frank C. Wise gave a

introduced many names of persons
who reside in North Canton.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.

by Mrs. Willigmann, entitled
"OUR FRIENDS"
Many kind and unkinds words are
said about our friends. But I am going to. tell you about a man ancl his
sweetheart, and I thought, "Will a
man" object to such a story? Now
"Newton" was in love with a most
charming girl named "l>etty" and she
lived close to the city of "Roberts"
ville. "Newton" hadipmposed and his
answer was, yes. So a house he must
build. A lot was selected, ancl one of
the best "Carpenters" in town was secured. The house grew fast and it
was to make J;he best "Show" in town.
The "Halls" were "Long" ancl wide
and the rooms light and airy. As expensive furniture was to be selected,
the house when complete had some
"Class." The outside was painted
"Green."' The walks were made of
From now until Thanksgiving the
thump of the football and the thud
of the tackle will mingle with signal
barking of quarterbacks or whisperings in huddles on the schoolboy fields
all over the territory served by The
Sun.
On Tuesday evening Lowell Ruch,
coach of the North Canton high
school, had his lads ,out giving them
drill work, atlhough they had a little
taste of it in camp last week. In
Greentown, Uniontown, Hartville,
Greensburg and other places the boys
are out on the gridiron, and from
what this writer for The Sun hears
the season is going to be a "fast" one,
as much available "timber" is at hand.
Many Boys "Soft"
After a summer lay-off there is
many a lad who must leave the
strings loose at the top of his panties
or "bust" when he stoops over. And
there is another crowd who have been
swimming all summer and who now
need to develop a different set of muscles altogether and be mighty careful
how they «-o about it.
Then, of course, there is that element who have conscientiously been
dabbling around with a fotball, playing the tag game and the like, who
need close watching, for fear they
might go "over the edge" in their condition before the season is half over.
Coaches' Task Hard
The duties of a school coach are
tremendous, and it is almost a nightmare with many to think that perhaps
one boy or another with remarkable
■ability might be overlooked in the
shuffle for places. Many a skinny lad,
though built like a steel spring, is
given but a hasty glance;by the coach,
while, as a. matter of facti the boy
has the heart of a lion .and. .the- nerve
to knock a bigger foe cock-eyed with
the tackle he can give. It is difficult
weeding out the material, ancl this
stage of the practice season is a
strenuous one on any conscientious
coach.

" ABIE'S IRISH ROSE"
NEXT WEEK AT GRAND
Most Expensive Play Ever Put
On By a Stock Company—
Was In New York -At One
Theatre For Six Years, a
World's Record Run.
NOTED ACTORS IN CAST
Manager Bob Cannon is not only
the youngest manager of a legitimate
theatre in America, but it strikes The
Sun that he is one of the most daring.
Not satisfied with giving the public
many of the best Broadway successes
in his theatre—the Grancl in Canton—
he has gone himself one better—
which seemed impossible—and secured the privilege from Miss Nichols
to produce her world-famous success,
"Abie's Irish Rose."
Miss Nichols is something more
than a writer of plays—she is a business woman first, .so when Manager
Cannon asked permission to stage her
play in Canton he asked, "How much
cash 'goes with your consent?"
She told him. Some managers
would have bowed, said "Good day,"
ancl let Abie and his Rose keep on
doing a marathon in New York city.
But not Manager Bob Cannon. He
took out his check, book, wrote in the
amount asked, shook hands with Miss
Nichols and took a fast train for Canton. And that is the reason "Abie's
Irish Rose" is the most expensive
show ever put on by a stock company.
Presented Next Week
It will be presented in the Grand
, beginning Sunday night, Sept. 1G, un-
| der the name of the Cannon Players,
I a name the company will use in future.

The Sunday-school and church service as usual was held last Sunday
at the usual morning hours. The Rev.
W. F. Kissel, pastor of our Reformed
church, Barberton, took the place of
the pastor of this church in his absence.
The pastor, was at a home-coming
in a Pennsylvania charge he left 28 I
years ago. He had the time of his I
life to name persons whom he had !
not seen for over a quarter of a cen-*.
tury. In some instances those reniem-1
bered only as children presented their
children and grandchildren. It is on I
such occasions that one is made keenly
sensible of the lapse of .time.

It is an interesting and provable
fact that people go to see "Abie's
Irish Rose" a second and third time
because they find something new to
enjoy at each visit. Tickets for all
performances of 'Abie's Irish Rose"
are now on sale at the box office of
the Grand theatre.
The four players, whose faces appear above have prominent parts in
"Abie's Irish Rose." They are Herbert De'Guerre and Edith Fisher (top
row) and Herbert Butterfield and Kitty Cosgriff (second; row.)
The play this week-is "Twin Beds,"

attested by the Clerk at the meeting
on September 4. Resolution No. 25G
calls for the issuance of bonds' during the year 1929 in the sum of five
thousand dollars for the purpose of
providing and constructing storm
water sewer extensions in North Canton.
Resolution No. 257 asks for a bond
issue for ten thousand dollars for the
purpose of constructing, improving
and resurfacing Main street ancl other
streets in this town.
Asked by The Sun if he had, at
this time, any comment to make on
the two bond issues, Mayor Becher
said :
Mayor Becher's Views
"There is not a person in this town,
or the country either for that matter,
who is not vitally concerned in the
health of the community. It is important that the most rigid sanitary
regulations should have force not only
in North Canton but in every town
throughout this country. For epidemics of disease can be kept to a minimum. These are the greatest wasters
of life.
Value of it Human Life
"I was looking up some satisfies
the other clay," continued Mayor
Becher, "and I saw it stated that an
estimate by a leading sanitarian
places the average value of a human
life as $3G00, ancl the average cost of
medical attention and nursing care for
each case .of typhoid fever, for instance, as ?200. $n"this oasis in one
small town epidemic, fifty-five cases
of typhoid cost $li;000 ancl in addition the loss of vital capital because
of six deaths was $21,600.
"That is a lot of money to be taken
out of a community. Let us not consider it even from a humanitarian
standpoint. It is really not good business policy to let such things happen.
Public health is purchasable. Within
natural limits every community can
determine its own death rate," said
the Mayor.
Health a Business Proposition
"Modern health methods include infant welfare, child welfare, prevention
of communicable diseases ancl the
sanitation of the community. A
healthful community will not only
have more money to spend on the necessities and luxuries of life, but it
will attract the best class of citizens
to locaffe in such a territory. I believe
11 can say without fear of contradiction that the-new-comers in North
Canton are the class of people any
community would be proud to have,
and we could not get such desirable
citizens if we did not have rigid sanitary regulations.
"This town is growing steadily, and
from a business standpoint, from a
good health standpoint, ancl from a
desire to encourage the best class of
people to locate here we owe it to
ourselves to vote for the $5,000 bond
issue for sewers when the subject is
presented to us in November," said
the Mayor.
Improving Streets
"The Sun wants my opinion on
Resolution No. 257 in which the people are asked to vote $10,000 for the
purpose of paying the village's portion of the cost of constructing, improving and resurfacing streets during 1929 and following years.
"Let me say right now that while
the State of Ohio will do its share,
providing we do ours, the state will
not assume the entire burden on the
public highway. And if we clo not do
ours we face lawsuits when persons
are injured or autos damaged owing
to ruts in the streets.
"We have settled several cases of
this kind, and while a number of persons thought that the Traction company was responsible for some of the
holes, the fact remains that the
Courts decided against us, ancl North
Canton had to pay the money. It is
true we made a stubborn fight, and
that the village attorney succeeded in
reducing the amounts originally asked, but the village was held responsible ancl it hacl to pay damages," said
the Mayor.
Put Streets In Shape
"Then, again, there are certain
streets we desire to put in shape as
soon as possible. We have promised
to clo this, but there is a limit on the
amount of cash we are allowed to
spend. If the people vote for the
street improvement bonds—and I
firmly believe they will—then the
town can go ahead and give certain
streets the relief necessarv to make
them passable in bad weather.
"As for Main street, we must look
after that or run the chance of
damage suits, and damage suits are
'luxuries' we do not want. As I said
before, health is a business proposition, and so is a well-kept street," said
Mayor Becher.
